Ingredients
Scale
For the Noodle Batter:
- 1 ½ cups rice flour
- ½ cup tapioca starch (or cornstarch for a firmer texture)
- 2 ½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
For Cooking the Noodles:
- 1 tablespoon oil (for brushing the steaming tray or pan)
- 1 pot of boiling water (for steaming)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Noodle Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca starch, salt, and water. Stir well until smooth and lump-free.
- Add vegetable oil and whisk again. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
Step 2: Steam the Noodle Sheets
- Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and place a flat steaming tray (or large nonstick baking sheet) over the steam.
- Lightly brush the tray with oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour a thin layer of batter onto the tray and swirl to spread evenly. Cover and steam for 3-4 minutes until set. The noodles should look translucent when done.
Step 3: Cool & Cut the Noodles
- Carefully peel off the noodle sheet and transfer it to a plate to cool.
- Repeat the process until all batter is used, stacking the noodle sheets on top of each other with a light layer of oil between them to prevent sticking.
- Once cool, use a sharp knife to cut into strips (½-inch for pho noodles, wider for stir-fry noodles).
Step 4: Store or Use the Noodles
- If not using immediately, store the noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, quickly dip in warm water before using in soups or stir-fries.
